Mike Young is one of the most popular and richest Basketball Coach who was born on May 1, 1963 in Radford, Radford, United States. Michael Kent Young (born May 1, 1963) is an American college basketball coach and currently the head men’s basketball coach at Virginia Tech. He was hired on April 7, 2019 after a 17-year stint where he went 299–244 (.545) as the head coach at Wofford College.
However, 2008–09 saw new school records in the Division I era, marking the Terriers’ first winning season as a Division I school and the first winning SoCon record in school history. In 2009–10, Young continued to build on this success, leading the Terriers to both the Southern Conference regular season and tournament championships, which earned Wofford its first bid to the NCAA tournament. In recognition of his achievements, Young was named the 2010 Southern Conference Coach of the Year [2], as well as the Hugh Durham National Coach of the Year [3].
On November 20, 2019, Young led Virginia Tech to a 100-64 win over Delaware State, giving the program a new school record and also set an ACC record with its 21 3-pointers made. On November 25, 2019, Young led Virginia Tech to a 71-66 victory over No. 3 ranked Michigan State in the Maui Invitational Tournament, Young’s first victory over a ranked team as head coach of the Hokies.
In December 2001, Wofford announced that then-head coach Richard Johnson would be promoted to athletic director, leaving Young to take control of the team starting for the 2002–03 season. His first six years were fairly uneventful, with high points of a .500 conference record in his first season, and overall records of .500 during the 2004–05 and 2007–08 seasons.
